However, Arshi's false claims were soon exposed after a source told BollywoodLife, "Forget approaching for a film, Prabhas' team doesn't even know who Arshi is".
Even after this, she continued defending herself, and stated that she wasn't lying.
"I am not lying at all for the limelight. Whatever I had tweeted about my movie, was what the makers had told me," she added.
